Chapter 23 Zombie World 2
Chapter Twenty-Three
Screams erupted one after another. Lin Xia glanced in that direction and took off running, but with so many people and cars, she couldn't run fast at all. She jumped onto the roof of a car and ran as fast as she could, not caring about exposing herself.
The severed half of the corpse had clearly been bitten off in one go; the tooth marks were continuous, indicating it was a large creature!
She had barely run away when the crowd of onlookers panicked. Many of them trembled, turned around, grabbed the people next to them, and bit them.
Some people hurriedly ran back, some collapsed to the ground in fear, some were too scared to get out of the car and trembled inside, while others picked up their phones to call the police...
Hearing the screams, Lin Xia didn't dare to stop. The cursing driver got out of the car from a distance to try to stop Lin Xia, but as soon as he got out, his eyes changed and he reached out to grab Lin Xia's foot. Lin Xia kicked him away and continued running.
However, as more and more people experienced the strange phenomenon, more and more passersby jumped onto the roof of the car, which severely slowed down Lin Xia's speed.
The driveway was in chaos, filled with the stench of blood. Lin Xia felt nauseous. This "special mask" could filter harmful substances but not smells, which made Lin Xia, with her keen sense of smell, suffer greatly.
With no more cars behind, the road became even more chaotic, with zombies chasing people everywhere. She ran fast, and the zombies would lose her after a while before moving on to the next target.
Seeing the utter chaos ahead, Lin Xia dared not run back the way she came, as that route led directly to the city center, where there were even more people and things would only get more chaotic.
"Open the door! Open the door! Let me in, please, let me in! Ahhh—"
"Open the door! Let us in! You people..."
Seeing people begging for help at roadside shops, before the doors could even open, a zombie bit their neck, splattering blood everywhere.
The zombies couldn't catch her. She wasn't actually that scared, but witnessing the entire mutation process chilled her to the bone. It only took a moment for a normal human to turn into a monster that only knew how to eat people.
And societal collapse can happen in an instant.
Thinking of the first half-corpse she saw, and seeing fewer and fewer living people on the road, she felt she couldn't keep running like this. Although she wasn't that tired yet, she was in danger if it really was a big one.
Her mental energy spread out, and all the doors along the road were locked from the inside, except for one shop whose doors were wide open. Inside, two zombies were eating people. Without hesitation, she ran over quickly.
Throwing Knife went in first, piercing the heads of two zombies through their eyes, and then dealt with the person on the ground who was about to mutate and be eaten. He quickly entered the shop, and those nearby immediately followed. Everyone moved the tables and cabinets inside to the doorway to block it.
The door was tightly shut, and everyone covered their mouths, trembling. Lin Xia quickly checked everything and closed all the windows. The sound of banging on the door gradually faded away along with the screams of passersby.
The people in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them collapsed to the ground, their words trembling and barely audible.
"Is that a zombie...? Are there really zombies?"
"It's so scary, even scarier than in the movies... Waaah, I want to go home."
"What should we do? Is it really going to be the end of the world...?"
"I need to call my son. He's still at school, and there are even more people there. What should I do..."
"Don't call! What if your son is hiding? If you call him, you'll expose his location."
The man froze for a moment, looking terrified: "Yes, yes, we can't fight, we can't fight."
"Yes, quickly silence your phone."
"Shh, be quiet, or you'll attract that monster again!"
People quieted down and put their phones on silent.
Lin Xia also took out her phone and saw that the group chat had 99+ messages. She scrolled through them and saw that many people who were playing the game for the first time were complaining about not having saved up any resources, and many were asking for resources.
However, she noticed that some people in the group were asking about everyone's addresses. It turned out that this time, the group wasn't just full of players from S City, but also from L City, and even from other cities.
However, zombie outbreaks have only occurred in S City and L City so far; other cities have not yet experienced them.
The XX Group between S and L is suspected to be the source; she needs to get away from here immediately.
I opened Weibo and found that there was no news about zombies. Even if they appeared, they would disappear immediately.
This was really not a good thing. She opened the backend, edited some zombie-related content, and found that she couldn't post it at all, not even homophones.
Lin Xia opened the offline map; she needed to leave! She couldn't go through the city center. After looking for a while, she found a route, but there were too many uncertainties along the way, so she had to take it one step at a time.
She noticed as soon as she entered that it was a mobile phone repair shop, filled with mobile phone-related items. She took a few power banks, charging cables, and charging adapters and transferred them from her backpack to her personal storage space.
It was quiet outside. Lin Xia looked out and saw that there weren't many zombies left in this area; they had probably all been drawn away by the crowd.
"How's it going outside?"
"It looks like there aren't many zombies left," Lin Xia replied.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"what is going on?"
"Looking towards the direction, it's the XX Group. Could it be that they've researched viruses and created zombies?"
"It's very likely that their job posting didn't say that they discovered a new substance that not only doubles the effectiveness of cosmetics but also has a very significant effect on cancer cells, and that Professor Li Pei has also joined in force to form a new team and recruit new team members."
"Yes, if it weren't for Professor Li Pei, I wouldn't have thought of coming to see him."
"Me too, I just took the day off yesterday. It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing; it seems like it's going to erupt while I'm in the hospital..."
"Waaah... I came to the job interview with my daughter, and she's already inside. Could it be that she's already...?"
Everyone fell silent. Lin Xia was somewhat surprised. It turned out that the people who had gathered here were all from the medical field. If what they said was true, then XX Group might have gathered a large number of experts and professors.
This is a huge blow to the world.
Lin Xia shook her head, feeling a pang of regret. She had to leave, but before she could act, a sharp and brief scream rang out. People's expressions changed drastically, and they all shut their mouths tightly. For a moment, the entire street fell silent.
The sound of chewing came, but it was different from the zombie's tearing and biting earlier. It was as if the whole person was being bitten into the mouth, and even the bones were being crushed.
Lin Xia thought of the half-corpse and knew something was wrong; it was very likely that thing had caught up with them.
She looked at her survival points, 1760. She had only been in this world for two hours. She exchanged for 5 [Attribute Cards: Speed +1] and 3 [Attribute Cards: Strength +1], and used them immediately.
The chewing sound stopped, and everyone prayed that it would leave quickly.
After a loud crash, screams of "Ah—" rose and fell from three or four people. One person ran out and ran frantically forward. As he passed by their door, he was covered in blood, but it was unclear whose blood it was.
The sounds of chewing and screams were chilling, as if the person being eaten was still alive...
Someone, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, opened the door, screamed, and ran out.
